Ambrosius

About This Audiobook

Imagine a vampire who’s spent over a thousand years quietly resenting his immortality—until he’s forced to share a room with a flamboyant, overconfident dragon shifter who won’t stop calling him ‘ancient decor.’ Taylor Rylan’s *Ambrosius* delivers a paranormal romance that swaps brooding for banter, with a slow-burn fated-mates plot that’s equal parts tender and hilarious. The world-building isn’t just clever; it’s *alive*, weaving ancient vampire lore with modern snark and a dragon’s territorial ego. Rylan’s prose is snappy, her characters are gloriously flawed, and the chemistry between Ambrosius (a 1,200-year-old vampire with zero patience) and his mate Kai (a dragon alpha who treats sarcasm like a second language) crackles off the page. This isn’t your grandmother’s vampire story—unless your grandmother was a snarky dragon who loved puns and air conditioning debates.

Narrator Michael Ferraiuolo turns this into an audiobook experience that’s as dynamic as the text. His delivery gives every line a pulse, whether he’s voicing Ambrosius’ icy wit or Kai’s infuriating-but-charming optimism. The pacing is tight, leveraging Ferraiuolo’s knack for comedic timing to highlight Rylan’s sharp dialogue. Even the world-building feels effortless in his hands, with each character’s personality shining through. The only misstep? Some of the world-exposition scenes drag ever so slightly, but Ferraiuolo’s performance keeps the momentum alive. This is a romance that rewards listeners who crave wit as much as heat.
